The Tacoma TRD pro is really just an ad for the Ranger Raptor

Definitely the best show ever especially when you actually take it off road and explain all the details spot on can’t wait for more episodes on the ranger raptor

…”the hills are alive with the sounds of RAPTOR…” 🤘🤘🤘

Im buying a Ranger Raptor in August and I can't stop watching Ranger Raptor content. I'm choosing shelter green because I love how it pops in the sun. I was thinking it would clash with the interior until I looked up green and orange clothes to see from a fashion perspective and I was glad to see it's very commonly paired together and looks good

I’ve been watching your videos for years and I gotta say this is the best one so far! Awesome job and bad ass Ford!

You easily have the best production quality of all the KZfaqrs, it’s like watching top gear uk back in the day. A lot of raptor videos but I would kill to watch you review a standard 2024 Ranger Lariat… please??

Ryan - with the Raptors and most Fords with "auto hold" features, when you brake boost the truck it actually limits power at launch as any brake pressure makes the truck limit the power when you simultaneously "boost" it - for the best time, engage the Auto Hold feature, don't boost it, and just hammer the gas in 4A / Sport Mode and you'll be fine. I've had a Gen 2 Raptor, Explorer ST and now a Gen3.5 (2024) Raptor and they're all quicker this way.

Stunning scenery 😮

As expected; exciting content, great videography and a wonderful, wonderful truck. Thank you Ryan 💥

I bought one. In Blue Lightning colour. Excellent truck!

Fun video, thanks Ryan

Great that you're enjoying driving this Raptor. Great episode. Greetings

Definitely the color combination is the best I’ve seen yet on a ranger raptor you were saying about utilizing the bed more you should look into moly panels instead of the rack system you had on your old truck

Iconic Silver is SUCH a good color! I had that on my 2022 Bronco!

Really enjoyed this video, thanks Ryan. Can’t wait to take delivery of my June build iconic silver Ranger Raptor!

I love the road trips he does

Love these long trips that you do!

Trying to ride my Gladiator out until it breaks down like my YJ did at 365k miles, but damn this thing is a beast.

the new Ford Ranger just kills the new Toyota Tacoma

Thanks for taking us through this beautiful scenery while reviewing an formidable truck👍😃

Great video sir!!

Amazing truck, for sure!

Such a cool little truck.

Ford finally got my attention! I check a local dealership, marked up $10k over MSRP. It will look great at the dealership, maybe not so much this fall.

📢The baby raptor ‼️

If us regular people could get this for $57k or less out the door...then it wouldn't be a bad deal. But dealer markups will be the reason why Ford won't sell many of these.

Great video! I have the same issues with my Ranger Raptor’s lane keep assist. I either gripe it firm and fight with it all the time or if I grip the wheel lightly and let it do its thing, then it thinks my hands are not on the wheel. After several 1-5 hour road trips I have given up on the lane keep and just turn it off. Cruise works great with keeping distances and such, so I use that and simply cancel lane keep. Hopefully Ford gets enough complaints like ours they update the lane keep software so it knows when our hands are on the wheel.

This raptor model has a lot of value baked into it. 👊

31:55 😂😂😂 so funny.. I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I have 2002 long travel Tacoma 2wd and it’s never seen sand. I just purchased 24 onyx xt thinking I’d get into the crawling world I’m also babying it and don’t plan on let it seeing dirt for a while!

Keep in mind he is going up and down mountains. I have a bed cover and getting 18.7 mpg at sea level

I like the Iconic Silver metalic... great choice

In the pnw, every route is the scenic route.

How is your drivers seat leather holding up? I've seen some people online saying it quickly stretches and gets wavy which would be kind of annoying

Pretty awesome roadtrip! Does anyone know if this version of the Raptor has the Hi-Lock transfer case? I know F-150 and think Bronco Raptors have it, but wasnt sure about this one.

Dig the content so far especially being here in Washington and I will say I am enjoying my RR a lot more than my F150 R especially size wise. Sooo much more nimble and flickable!

Silver is by far the best color on that truck.

Really not liking the Canadian pricing on these halo midsize trucks. 80k for this and Tacoma trd pro. Zr2 seems like the bargain here.

Awesome adventure video. The main thing that worries me about controls in the screen is if the screen has an issue. My parents have a Ford Edge and the screen has randomly gone all black - I could see that being an issue out on trails when you need to engage lockers.

I actually like the silver colorway, I love the “skynet/cyber-esque” of it and it goes great with the black wheels. Silver ls a color we didn’t get in Mexico, but we got an orange that matches the highlights of the interior

Man you chose the best colour for sure!

How low can you air down without needing to get rims that are meant to hold the bead more securely? OEM rims aren't meant to be aired down very much, are they? Or is it not an issue unless you get closer to 10 psi or less?

let me know next time you go off road, or out to the dunes, ill join in my RR as well. I live on the east side. probably get some good b-roll

The Taco TRD Pro and Trailhunter are cooked. Yeah you lose reliability, but for the lower price, yeah reliability won't matter to most buyers.

The new "forester" looks more like a Subaru Fordester.

Personally in my NG Everest I would prefer a horizontal central screen you can get much wider CarPlay maps, my partner has Kia Sportage with the twin 12.3” it’s amazing.

I’m buying one

Tonneau cover will improve fuel economy. BAK FLIP makes hi quality Tonneau covers.

Speaking for myself I love the gray with the orange I think it looks great

Put on a Borla Atak exhaust.🔥

My Camry could make it through that! 😂 Where is that guy? He always shows up without fail! 😂

Totally thought Ryan flipped off the TRX driver at first glance lol

Filling up that expensive gas tank gets old pretty fast. 15mpg is acceptable? Nice truck though.

Champ! How about adding an overlander camping camper to back of raptor ranger truck? Will that affect Raptor ability to deliver power? Overlanding gear adds a ton of weight to a truck!

I wouldn't take it thru a car wash. I used a touch less and heard a very loud pop. Think ford will have to stiffen the roof like GM had to do with none sunroof models. You are lucky my truck rattles like crazy but so far that is the only complaint except a few weird shifts

looks tiny! but, the design is best of all mid size.

In Finland, if you register the Ranger Raptor as a passenger car, it costs 137000€ without options and if you register it as a truck (includes a 90km/h speed limiter and a larger payload) it costs 85000€ without options. This is all due to taxation which is based on emissions (on passenger cars).

dear viewers 587 up votes 13 k views in 21 hours. how lazy can you be not to move your mouse and give a LIKE. you are giving a LIKE for how he creates his content not if you like the vehicle. give some appreciation for all the hard work they for getting the information and shots for the video.

I got my fully loaded 2020 Tacoma TRD PRO every option plus dealer installed crap for 50k. Built in Texas.

27:05 interesting the mufflers "off-road use only" which means you could get a ticket on public roads for it being too loud

$65k for Tacoma🤣

With everything you get? That's really not a bad price., for a new truck Remember this has 400hp and a warranty.

Anyone else irked that they created yet another tire category? (Between mild AT and Aggressive AT).. I get it but it gets tricky keeping track of them all.

Whats the purpose of the wind flag?

Save a life ❤

if you want eyes on your truck get a zr2 hd

I feel like the Bison ZR2 Colorado is a much better truck, but I'm probably biaseed, looking forward to this video :)

Yes... I am looking at this because of fuel economy lol. Otherwise id just get the shelby or TRX.

Small tanks must be a Ford thing. We had 2018 Explorer and the range was terrible because of the mileage/tank size. I think they do it to avoid shock at filling a large tank.

0-60 is very slow. The regular Ranger with a Ford Performance tune does 5.6 seconds all day long. Would have expected the Raptor to be in the 4s off the lot. Not a good selling point on the big V6 when someone with a base model 4cly and $800 warranty tune can be just as fast.

You missed shelter green

I wish the styling was more Raptor , not wide enough on the fender flares imo.

Ford doesn't offer a sunroof on the ranger period regardless of trim.

MPG of this truck is really disappointing. Full size trucks with V8s or with larger turbo V6s, all with similar power get better mpgs. Just seems like this thing should be seeing at least low 20s on highway. Low gearing perhaps?

Id rather have to go into the touch screen to hit a Locker that I'll HAVE to use 3 times a year over the touch sreen for the headlights that I'll use every day or so.... so no touche to Chevy on that one.

Any off road truck that you can't get a moonroof in is a no sale for my wife and I... Throw in the no rear air vents and it's not even close... AT4X for us.

If you used onX off-road you would’ve known if those roads were closed

Can we get more thoughts of your old Tremor vs the Raptor? On paper the Raptor is leagues above the Tremor but is it WORTH upgrading to is the tough question, real world off-road trails like you do not baja and such. Obvious answer the Raptor is better all around, but not sure it is worth getting into payments for. That is why I do not think I will get it. Will be payment free soon.

Why would you buy this? It's so small. Just get the full size. As far as the sunroof is concerned, that's just silly to mention the weight. The Raptor R has the option.

The orange/ red truly is a bit much 😪.

Be careful my cam phasers are toast at 1200 miles on my Ranger raptor.

I hope more videos of made of the normal fx4 ranger. All of the literature seems to be of the raptor.

Anyone else have to do a double take when the TRX passed 😂😂, totally thought he flipped him off lol.

That bed is utterly useless eh? Much more enjoyed the 4R Death Valley video where you loaded it up with gear and room to sleep in.

Johnny come lately Ranger wants to play a role in outdoorsy areas. No chance. Toyota wins in this segment because of commitment. Because of being there always. Because of hybrids. Not leaving customers for greener easier pastures of large pickups and then returning with weak untested products. Tacoma owns 50% of the segment because of that commitment. Reliability. Residual Value and Resale Value. Variety of forms and trim for different budgets. Two door, long bed, manuals, offroady and real offroady. Just look at that big LCD and how Ranger gets rid of hard touch buttons and knobs in favor of putting in LCD, and then you have to wonder how many other short cuts Ford makes under the covers, not to mention no Sunroof. King Tacoma is the KING of OFFROAD and midsize SEGMENT, PERIOD END OF SENTENCE.

Chevy fans comparing the headlights controller to the Ford's locker controller is like comparing apples to oranges. Most people need their headlights far more often than a locker. Having a computer screen go out or other computer screen issue in the Chevy for an extended time is going to be far more intrusive than not having access to lockers. Dumb

Silver boring? Really? GTFO! They wanted a hot pink color instead? Looks wonderful in Silver!

The sound of the engine really turned me off. I like TRD Pro and ZR2 better, even the looks. This Ranger truck doesn’t look as modern as those two.

Great channel and love the content but man I really hate your intro music. Just doesn’t quite butter my sandwich 🥪

Are you saying the blue paint is also lame? And I guess the red also? In general, to me black, white ,(also "show me the dirt colors") and gray are all the "same" lame,lifeless choices 🙁. White, the complete lack of all color . Black the combination of all colors and the color of a funeral hearse. Also, Quickly hotter than hell sitting out in the sun. They both show dirt badly. For people that can't decide between those two lame color choices of black or white.. . They just combine them and make Gray / "metal flake gray/schist/ Mica/silver". 😅 Besides the red and the blue all I see is some version of the black white or gray choices. A whole pallet of different shades of grey. 🤮😅 Hey but at least it came with some nice tires., 🙂 And you can always just have a paint shop some put some nice paint on there for only 3 Grand 5 Grand or 8 grand? 😁. So totally no reason to worry about the colors that Ford has their cars and on the lot😅😉 Hey! And don't let "Roman" intimidate you like that 😲 😛😉 You get the color that you want!😁😛 So which are you going to turn on more often when driving your headlights or your lockers?🤔. 😅😉 Hey! That is Not an odd color of orange! It's an odd color of red 😛😅😉 Love the way you were dumping it, dumping all that sand off the under carriage😅😁 But it is a sad day when "your thing falls off" And it didn't even look like that cold of a day outside 😛😅 Shoot a car screaming at me about hands on the wheel, would drive me crazy in short time! 😖 Can you turn off / disconnect that garbage? Looks like a great road trip and a great video. In you're boring, bland, blend into the asphalt road, gray ride. 😅😉 All right I like to call them, shiny primer paint jobs 😅

Transmission is trash

hot take: the ranger is the ugliest midsize truck out these days

If you like us to share your videos, please share the road... from the limited footage, it appears you may in all likelihood be hogging the left lane/passing lane on highway, when the right lane was free. Many courteous and professional drivers only use the left lane to pass. Thank-you.

You reinforce your doing speed limits to viewers and weeds snd flowes, but fail to report why you are hogging passing lane. I did previously share that it was a brief video. To Johnathan, fun and being a professional courteous responsible drivers are synonymous. Try hogging the left passing lane on the autobahn on a weekend early morning without congestion e With a slow car. Your idea of fun?

The fact that you even consider an all electric tells me loads about you!

Is it illegal to be in shape in USA?

21:37´ oh, I am sorry!! suspension is too soft...

So who gives a crap if exteriors “match” their interiors?
